Heyy all

Before i had a computer crash( whole computer, not going into it) i have Ubuntu 9.04 installed

thats all fine and dandy, i liked it

but, it was getting a little too boring

besides Ubuntu, what other distros of Linux would you suggest that are simple, but a little more complex than Ubuntu

Debian is what I use for everything. Ubuntu is based off it, so if you're comfortable with that, Debian shouldn't be much of a stretch.

Years ago I was a Red Hat guy, but I got away from that once they forked to RHEL/Fedora.

I actually just tried Ubuntu 9.10 a few hours ago. I noticed it ran slower (simple things like opening folders and Mozilla felt like it took forever), and made my laptop considerably hotter, than Windows 7. Back I go...

It's a shame, the concept seemed really cool and this laptop isn't much for gaming either, so not much lost there if I were to switch.

A little more complex than Ubuntu?

Well, Ubuntu and Suse are what I would consider the most user friendly, but any linux distro is as complicated as you want to make it grasshopper.

Fedora (CentOS, or whatever) is probably the next logical step although I haven't used it in a while.

So do you want to feel like a geek and have to work for every little victory OS speaking?
FreeBSD or Net BSD may be up your alley (note that is UNIX and not linux).


Well something isn't right if Windows 7 runs faster...good lord.
Gnome or KDE?

You could also check out mint....but like xcheck said, if you want the "Exciting" flavor, I've heard the FreeBSD and NetBSD are the way to go.

(Microsoft OS's keep me employed, so I'm much more familiar with them. Linux OS's keep me entertained)
